Feb 24, 2023- A kitchen fire broke out on the 2nd floor of the Park Lane Hotel overnight causing the hotel to evacuate its guests for several hours. The FDNY says this was a duct fire that happened while contractors did work in the hotel's second-floor kitchen. It then spread to the third and fourth floors, but luckily, guests stay on higher floors at this hotel.
Many guests spent the rest of the early morning wrapped in blankets in the lobby or on the street.
No injuries were reported.
